This tree, growing up to 10 metres in height, has oblong opposite leaves that are shiny dark green and covered with oil glands on both sides. Flowers are borne in the leaf axils or terminal panicles and are greenish-white with large numbers of brush-like stamens. The white to pale yellow rose apple is oval to pear-shaped and has four fleshy sepals at the end of the fruit. A cavity in the stone fruit contains two brown seeds.
The numerous magnificent flowers are followed by round fruits that taste of rosewater. This is where this juicy fruit gets its common name of rose apple.
We will happily wait a few more years for these special, tasty fruits.
